Being an artist could be a real joy, a journey, an excitement an unknowing destiny. Being an artist could bring you on a new psychological level and give you the chance to improve, learn, create.

Being an artist is a life style.

During your art journey, you will find yourself beaten down, depressed, frustrated by the struggles of the art world. There would be a lot of people who probably won't understand and appreciate your art, a lot of critics etc etc.

But, have you ever ask yourself, what are the good, positive things that you should appreciate in being an artist?

It is so easy to forget how special you are, when there is no one around to remind you, but you.

Here are some things that you should always keep in mind:

1. You are not one of those people who goes every day at work (that they hate) just to pay the bills.

2. Your talent is your own special skill that no one can take you away

3. You can afford job you like and enjoy in most of the time

4. You ideas are always with you, even when your feeling sad. It's just a matter of time

5. You can improve, change, create in your own special way

6. Most of the time you don't feel bored

7. Your talent is something that no one can control, except YOU

8. Your never fully satisfied and always willing to move forward

9. You got the chance to express yourself

10. Even when you won't be on this planet you will left something meaningful behind.

Those are just few thing you should know and appreciate about yourself. Motivation is not something you should learn or you can buy. Everyone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. The reality is that refocusing, changing, or making a new start on something, no matter how small, is a big deal. But it's not impossible. With the right approach, you can definitely do it.

And remember, learn to love yourself and be more joinable and comfortable in your own skin. Your art is something that is timeless.

Enjoy!
